So ive read couple of threads here on the forum on how to unlock bootloader running android P
but didnt get it clear, should i run both fastboot unlock and and after that fastboot unlock critical? or is that only if i want to update bootloader ?
and no password set on the phone?
is that all ?
only flashed oneplus, samsung, lg, etc wich seems easier.

Might as well do both. Since the first one you do will wipe your phone anyway :good:

I'm currently just stock + root + V4A + sub themes. I've run DU, AquariOS, and Nitrogen. They're all very good, but the Dev for Nitrogen is very good, and very involved in his thread. Can't do much better than that :good:

It's pretty easy. After you fastboot into twrp, flash the twrp installer zip, then your custom kernel, I like Flash or Ex, then flash the magisk zip. BTW, if your going to run Nitrogen, you'll need to downgrade to 8.1 first. Which, unfortunately, will wipe your phone again

Yeah, unfortunately, you'll need to be on July 8.1 before you flash nitrogen. Just the way it is my friend.

If you didn't do ...fastboot flashing unlock_critical...then, yes, just run fastboot flashing lock. Are you familiar at all with updating your device with factory images?

Okay, so, one of my friends has a OnePlus 3 and it disappointed in the battery life after the Nougat update, he wants to roll back to Marshmallow.
So,
1. Is rolling back to Marshmallow possible after a Nougat update? Are there any risks for flashing Marshmallow on Nougat's bootloader?
2. Can someone tell me what is the latest stable (don't want betas) Oxygen OS based off Marshmallow.

1. Yes, its fairly easy to roll back. Minimal risks If done corectly
2. I believe the latest mm build is 3.2.8 (not sure though)

I'm not sure If we're allowed to post external links but, you can go to Google and search for "downgrade op3".
This is best marshmallow in my opinion of course

Remember that op3/3t N have f2fs file system which is unsupported on 3.2.8 (MM). You'll either have to use an old version of custom kernel (I think only bluspark supported f2fs at that time) or convert to ext4 in twrp. Other than that there should be no issue with flashing 3.2.8 over N

You should be able to clean fastboot the DP5 factory image. This will wipe your phone, so you better back up your data.

Just flash ROM and gapps and don't flash firmware while flashing custom ROM
While flashing stock MIUI ROM use fastboot ROM to flash and there won't be any chances of brick. MiFlash software checks bootloader index before flashing a ROM so it is safer way

Yes you can upgrade to MIUI10.. but you have to flash full recovery ROM, still you will get OTA update from xiaomi but its always recommended to flash complete recovery ROM
I've been on the same updates since like may. I have stock recovery, its rooted so my boot-loader was unlocked at one point and should still be still. So what do I need to do to update to a treble ROM? I see I can flash directly through fastboot right?
